How gas prices have changed in Kentucky in the last week

Gas prices are hovering closer to $4 per gallon this month as the cost of oil has risen, driven higher by Saudi Arabia’s decision to cut production.

A gallon of gas was $3.84 on average, according to AAA gas price data. Stacker compiled statistics on gas prices in Kentucky. Gas prices are as of August 11.

Gas prices haven’t been this high on average since October 2022. Experts have warned that when producers push prices beyond $4, it could result in consumers pulling back on how often they fill up the tank. Leaders around the globe are concerned that rising gas prices could reignite inflationary stress for consumers just as things are beginning to calm down.
